Chapter 276: A Piece of Filial Piety
The public banquets of the various yamen were disturbed one after another, and after eating and drinking, it was time for the New Year. At this time, it is also the busiest time for housewives, housekeepers, and servants, who are busy inside and out, buying New Year's goods, giving bonuses, preparing food, cleaning, and tidying up the courtyard
But for the other party Qingzhi, Fang Yingwu's father and son, who are not muddy and shake their hands, it seems to be easier than usual. It's easy enough to sit down and have a good conversation.
It was snowing outside, the small stove was lit in the house, a glass of wine was drinking, and a few plates of snacks were eating, and the scene was very warm and comfortable. Just looking at his unrestrained and free-flowing son, Fang Qing's heart was filled with a deep sense of frustration, and he felt that he had really failed to play the role of "strict father".
In the past, father and son didn't see each other much, and when they met occasionally, although they often didn't know what to say because of their unfamiliarity, it was still no problem for them to put on a strict father's shelf.
But since his son moved over, he got along day and night, and unconsciously, his majesty as a father has lost little by little. Today, it has only been a month, and I see that my son is about to go to the house to uncover the tiles. What's even more terrifying is that I can't find the reason at all, as if I can only watch the situation evolve like this.
Thinking of this, Fang Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh again and again, Zi said that it really makes sense, only villains and women are difficult to raise, and those who are close are not inferior to those who are far away, and those who are far away are resentful, and the situation of his own son is probably "not inferior if he is close".
One of the big killers for parents to deal with their children is the marriage problem, Fang Qingzhi asked: "What do you think about the relationship with Brother Bin?" How can it be delayed forever? As a father, he always has to reply. ”
Li Dongyang is very good, but unfortunately Fang Yingwu made up his mind and said: "Can you delay until the end of the exam?" If you really can't. Then politely decline. ”
Liu Mian was already suspicious and began to talk to himself. If you continue to have an ambiguous attitude, I am afraid that Liu Mian will not be able to explain it.
Don't look at Liu Mian, who seems to be easy to talk and doesn't put on a score much. But don't forget that he is one of the big three in the cabinet after all, and it will be unlucky for him to forget this.
In other words, Liu Mian can play ambiguous with other parties, but other parties are not qualified to play ambiguous with Liu Mian, Liu Mian can repent, but other parties are not qualified to regret without other reasons, the terrain makes it so.
Fang Qingzhi was surprised by his son's answer, "You were still very vague a few days ago. How is it so clear today? ”
He soon remembered that after the Hanlin banquet, his son had gone to the mansion of Liu Ji, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the change in attitude was related to this? "Could it be that Elder Liu Ge said something to you?"
Fang Yingwu thought about it, there was no need to hide it from his father now, and said clearly: "Liu Mian and Liu Ge have always intended to recruit me as a son-in-law, there is a possibility of eight or nine points, and it is not yet a foregone conclusion." ”
There is a scholar who wants to marry a girl? It should have been a shocking thing, but Fang Qingzhi was a little numb. It's a bit of a habit. Even if his son said that the Jade Emperor wanted to marry the Seven Fairies to him, it was not worth shocking, there were too many strange things in him.
Suddenly something came to mind. Fang Qingzhi's face finally changed, put down the wine glass, and said very sternly: "Are you going to reject Li Xiya for the sake of Liu Ge Lao?" Don't seek like-mindedness. But he covets glory and wealth, how can he be like this? But how does the world view our family? ”
Fang Yingwu sighed. It was out of like-mindedness that Liu Mian was chosen, and besides, where did he look like a person who coveted Ronghua and ate soft rice? What glory and riches could be better than his vision?
And there's an old saying. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, who is a gentleman and who is a villain between Liu Mian and Li Dongyang, it is clear at a glance from the history books.
He could only explain to his father: "Father's words are exaggerated, then Li Xiya and Liu Ge Lao are not much different, but Li Xiya is younger." Both are very good, no matter who they choose, they have nothing to do with greed for glory. ”
Fang Qingzhi said angrily: "Almost? How could Liu Ge Lao be similar to Li Xiya? One is a scholar of Zaifu University, and the other is a depressed old Hanlin, how did it become almost in your mouth? Are you saying this to hide your desire for glory and wealth? It's just an unreasonable quibble! ”
After Fang Qingzhi finished speaking, he glared at his son fiercely. This party should be bold and reckless, and he can't control it anyway, but he can't insult the IQ of the fourth place in the second class of Fang Qingzhi! Li Dongyang said that it was heaven-breaking, and it couldn't be compared with Scholar Zaifu!
Wait a minute! Fang Yingwu hurriedly raised his hand, his mind was a little confused.
Listen to my father's meaning, Li Dongyang, who has made outstanding achievements in history and is known as Wenzheng, is now a big fight? Otherwise, how can you call it a depressed old Hanlin? Is Li Dongyang the same person everyone is talking about?
Fang Yingwu collected his thoughts and asked carefully: "Xiya Gong is unwilling in the Hanlin Academy?" ”
Fang Qingzhi replied: "Li Xiya is talented and brilliant, and he is deeply admired by his father. But Li Xiya has a nickname that is not heard of in the Hanlin Academy, called Li Eighteen. ”
Fang Yingwu was puzzled, Li Zi is eighteen sons when he is dismantled, it is not that there has been no such dismantling method in history, but what does this have to do with Li Dongyang hitting the street?
"This nickname is to make fun of Li Xiya for almost 18 years in the Hanlin Academy." Fang Qingzhi did not have the habit of selling guanzi, and quickly gave an answer. "Li Xiya Junior High School, entered Hanlin in the early years of Chenghua, and has been almost sixteen or seventeen years, but he has only achieved it from the five grades, so he can be called unambitious."
Fang Yingwu was speechless, things were really a little different from what he imagined, he was influenced by the history books, and subconsciously acquiesced to Li Dongyang's fame, brilliant achievements, and pride, it turned out that he was now a half-beaten street.
What kind of people in Hanlin are counted as good aspirations? After boiling the capital calendar, those who can be turned into Siqing, Shilang, and Shangshu are considered to be Zhizhi, and those who can be promoted to officials of the Zhan Shifang Bureau are considered Zhizhi, and Zuihou is of course a cabinet with the same end.
But if you have been working in the Hanlin Academy, you can only be a "potential newcomer", and when the newcomer is no longer new, it is the boss's stool.
Li Dongyang is now almost 18 years old, and he is still a "potential newcomer" and is still regarded as a "promising young man". What is this concept? The businessman was a businessman, and he worked hard in Hanlin for three or five years. "Cabinet Counsellor Maintenance"; Looking at Xie Qian, it only took him 20 years to become a cabinet scholar.
Li Dongyang's luck lies in. He was eighteen years old, and he is only in his thirties, and there is still time and hope.
Fang Yingwu recalled the scene of the Hanlin banquet, no wonder the famous Li Dongyang in history did not go to the second circle, but only mixed with Wu Kuan and Wang Wei in the third literary circle.
It's no wonder that when his father was seeking relatives for himself, Li Dongyang actually took the initiative to show favor This is not a condescension, and he is not much better than his father now, which can be called a good match. If he is now a popular figure destined to enter the cabinet. Do you still see the top house?
If other traversers hear this kind of thing, they will be ecstatic, this is an excellent opportunity to burn the cold stove, send charcoal in the snow, and hug the thighs, maybe the tiger body can be shocked and Li Dongyang can be accepted as a little brother! However, things are a bit tangled up here.
Press the following should be cluttered mind does not express. I only heard Fang Qingzhi say bitterly to his son: "How short-sighted your vision is! Don't look at Li Xiya's depression today, but for his father, he can see that when Long Qian Jiuyuan finally soars, he will become famous all over the world and leave a name in history! Although Liu Ji once gained power, he also relied on the way of today's world. How can evil last long if it does not prevail over good? ”
These words have little to do with morality, they mainly involve the dialectical relationship between long-term interests and immediate interests, which is already the limit of what Fang Qingzhi can say in front of his son.
It's a shame to be a gentleman, but there's no way. Fang Qingzhi knew that telling his son about the righteousness of a gentleman was playing the piano to a cow, and he couldn't be ruthless when he killed his relatives with righteousness.
The son does not teach his father's fault, but only blames himself for neglecting discipline back then. That's why his son's three views have deviated, and Fang Qingzhi sighed in his heart and blamed himself.
Fang Yingwu can't see it when he squints. His father's vision has made great progress, and he can judge that Li Dongyang will rise in the future.
Father and son looked at each other for a moment. Suddenly, Fang Yingwu's face darkened, and he said with a sad expression: "I understand what my father said, and I understand my father's hard work." But it's difficult to have both people, and my son can't help himself! ”
Which one is this? Fang Qingzhi seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Fang Yingwu got up and bowed to the ground, and said in a tone, "When my father was imprisoned, my son was rescued in Beijing, in order to get Scholar Liu to come forward, so I promised people unspeakable and untrustworthy, if my son and I repent, wouldn't I become a capricious villain?"
I have never dared to say this to others, for fear of insulting our family, but to this day, I have to say it! Just ask the father to fulfill his son's promise! ”
What the? And such an insider? Fang Qingzhi was stunned, no wonder Liu Ji helped him speak and repeatedly showed favor, he dared to have such a quasi-in-law relationship since two years ago!
If there is a promise first, it is indeed difficult to regret it later. Fang Qing's mind was confused for a while, and he pointed at Fang Yingwu and asked, "You want to do this?" How dare you make a private decision for life! ”
Fang Yingwu continued to lie on the ground, and replied with a slight choked voice: "How can a son of man watch his father suffer in the prison? The ancients had those who succumbed to thieves for their parents, so why can't the son wronged himself? ”
"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have come out of the prison!" Fang Qingzhi said angrily. As for weishenme's anger, he couldn't say it, he just felt that he should be angry now!
"This is the end of the matter, there is no other way." Fang Yingwu still bowed his head and said, "Li Xiyagong's side, you can let your son go and say it in person, don't make it difficult for your father." ”
Fang Qingzhi saw that his son's tone was depressed, and he didn't even dare to raise his head in shame, in fact, he was also filial. In the end, I could only sigh, "Get up!" You have also been wronged. ”
Fang Yingwu got up and patted the soil in a chic manner, his face was calm and calm, as usual, Fang Qing's heart burst out with indescribable anger, and he scolded "bastard thing", and raised his hand to fight.
Fang Yingwu hugged his head and ran back to the east courtyard. (To be continued......)
